Graham scored a career-high 35 points (10-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-15 FT) while adding six assists, four rebounds and three steals in 42 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 122-120 overtime win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year point guard sank the game-winning free throws at the end of OT and was a huge part of the Hornets' rally from a 14-point deficit to begin the fourth quarter. Graham is playing consistent minutes this season as the floor general for the second unit, and he's already scored more than 20 points three times in seven games while averaging more than three three-pointers a night.

Graham turned in 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 assists, a rebound and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Monday's 111-96 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
If Graham is still on your waiver wire, it would be highly advisable to grab him while you can. The second-yaar Kansas product is a perfect example of a sophomore who could break out and earn a regular starting gig. The Hornets are in rebuilding mode, and Graham's early contributions make him an invaluable asset. He's already logging more minutes than most of the starters.

Graham contributed nine points (1-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes Sunday in the Hornets' 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
After he busted out for 47 points while drilling 12 three-pointers in the Hornets' first two games of the season, Graham's hot shooting came to a screeching halt Sunday. The second-year player salvaged some value with his assist total and flawless mark from the line, but the poor outing should at least temporarily put to rest his hopes for unseating Terry Rozier or Dwayne Bacon in the starting five. Graham at least seems poised to retain a 25-plus-minute role with Malik Monk off to a rough start to the season and Nicolas Batum (finger) likely sidelined through mid-November.

Graham amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and two rebounds in 28 minutes during Friday's 121-99 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Graham continued his strong start to the season, pouring in a team-high 24 points off the bench in Friday's loss. Along with P.J. Washington (10 points, 10 rebounds), Graham has been the standout player for the Hornets. It is unlikely he takes over as the starting point guard but given his play thus far, he is likely to be the primary sixth-man moving forward. Chances are he is still available on a number of waiver wires. If that is the case in your league, dropping a fringe guy to pick him up is not a bad idea.

Graham scored 23 points (7-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding eight assists and four rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 126-125 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year guard started the season with a bang, leading the Hornets' second unit in minutes, points, assists and three-pointers. Graham had a quiet rookie campaign, but the offseason departures of Kemba Walker and others have opened up a lot of court time in Charlotte, and the Kansas product could be one of the biggest beneficiaries if he keeps producing from beyond the arc.

Graham is starting at point guard in Wednesday's exhibition against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
With Terry Rozier unavailable due to left knee tendinitis, Graham will start and should see an increased workload. Rozier's injury isn't thought to be anything overly serious, so Graham figures to open the season as the backup point guard.

Graham generated 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 120-99 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Graham had it going offensively, he crashed the glass, and he even shared the floor some with starting point guard Terry Rozier. Rozier boasts the size to shift over to shooting guard, which may make it easier for Graham to get on the court consistently this season. The absence of Nicolas Batum (Achilles) probably opened up some additional playing time for Graham, but regardless the backup point guard will likely have a chance to earn a decent role in 2019-20.

Graham accounted for 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 21 minutes Wednesday against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Graham finished with a solid line, though his efficiency left something to be desired. After averaging 4.7 points, 2.6 assists and 1.4 rebounds as a rookie, Graham will presumably see a larger role in his second year which could expand his production. To succeed, however, Graham'll need to improve on his regrettable percentages of 34.3 from the field and 28.1 from three from 2018-19.

Graham is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup with the Celtics due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Graham's a good shot to play Sunday despite appearing to have picked up a minor bug during the week. If he's unable to go, look for Kobi Simmons and Cody Martin to see an uptick in playing time.

Graham posted 21 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 93-85 win over the Warriors in the Las Vegas Summer League.
EDGE Analysis
Graham's participation during his rookie season was hindered by a crowded depth chart, but with both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb out of Charlotte, the Kansas product should get an opportunity to make a case for playing time next season with a good Summer League showing. With Terry Rozier poised to start at point guard, the 6-2 guard will likely join the second unit.
